FHIR & SMART on FHIR

Health information sharing is becoming increasingly important. Individuals involved in delivering care to patients now expect the information they require to be available at the point of care.

Historically, information was locked into 'silos of collection', which is no longer the case.

There is an increasing requirement for rapid and secure healthcare interoperability; the sharing of patient information between providers. In response, there is a new standard from HL7® FHIR® or Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources. Plus SMART on FHIR which maximises security to FHIR APIs, supporting safe access to data, enabling the open healthcare ecosystem.

FHIR is now at a level of maturity where clinicians and healthcare executives can become involved and understand how FHIR APIs will future-proof your organisations health information sharing.
